Persistent flags alone can't disable the ordering properly

[jaysun91]

It looks like the disable ordering feature is not working with commands with persistent flags only. But works fine if commands have local flags or both local and persistent flags.

I have a root command with only persistent flags. And even I set SortFlags = false, the command still prints the flags in order.

...
	pFlags := c.PersistentFlags()
	pFlags.SortFlags = false
	pFlags.String("z", "Z", "")
	pFlags.String("a", "A", "")
...

And I got

...
Flags:
      --a string    (default "A")
      --z string    (default "Z")
...

If you also set Flags().SortFlags to false, even without defining local flags, then the sorting will be disabled

...
        c.Flags().SortFlags = false
        pFlags := c.PersistentFlags
...
